Hemp Flour

What is hemp flour?

Many people around the world enjoy hemp flour and appreciate it for its qualities as a superfood. The plant only has minute traces of THC: The government requires hemp plants to have THC levels under 0.3%. Another substance in hemp is CBD which people extract for its medicinal benefits.

The federal government controls both CBD and THC, and food products that contain these ingredients aren’t available in regular stores (yet).

So does the government control hemp flour, too?

Fortunately, hemp seeds don’t contain THC or CBD. Stores like Walmart and Target even sell some items that have hemp seeds. People make hemp flour from hulled seeds, so you don’t have to worry about any controlled substances in your flour.

Produced using hemp seeds—which are technically a nut by definition, hemp flour has a mildly nutty flavor. The flour is very nutritious, with over 25% of the calories coming from protein, it really is a power flour.

Is it good for you?

Gluten-free and with its anti-inflammatory abilities, hemp flour super healthy for you. It’s is high in fiber, which can help keep you regular. It also has a lot of protein and other antioxidants that help support your health.

The flour is rich in vitamins and minerals – unlike white or processed flour, which quite literally has none.

Hemp flour contains magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, zinc, thiamine and a number of other useful vitamins and minerals.

Packed full of essential oils and amino acids, hemp flour is fantastic for your heart & brain health. Instead of asking if it’s good for you, the question should be how you can get it to enjoy its benefits.

Can I get high on hemp flour?

No, you cannot get high on hemp flour. It’s produced from a different part of the plant and is manufactured differently. It contains 0% THC, so you wouldn’t get high even if you ate a hundred loaves of hemp bread.

For those who don’t know, it’s THC which provides the psychedelic experience that marijuana users are looking for. As we said before, hemp has a very small amount of THC. But since hemp flour is made from the seeds which don’t have any, the flour can’t make you high.

This type of flour is a healthy superfood with which you can cook a wide variety of healthy food for you and your family.

What are the benefits?

Hemp flour and related products can provide a wide range of functional benefits and a reduction in inflammation.

Hemp flour is gluten-free so it’s a perfect substitute for people who suffer celiac disease or experience inflammation. Eating gluten-filled products, which are particularly abundant in most western diets, can cause issues with gut health for some people.

Inflammation in the gut causes symptoms that can severely inhibit someone’s ability to function in day to day life. Celiac disease is no joke, and many people don’t know they have the disease. Hemp flour can be a great option for people suffering from this ailment. Most people don’t think of it right away, but it tastes great and you should give it a try.

Since it is extremely high in protein, it’s also a great food supplement for vegans and vegetarians or anyone looking to get more protein in their diet.

Can you change out plain flour with hemp?

Hemp flour is a little expensive, so you might not want to use it to replace all your other flour.

In some cases, flour made from hemp is 10-20 times more expensive than plain flour. However, this flour is also a lot denser than regular flour. It’s best to incorporate just a portion of the flour into a recipe instead of using it for the whole recipe. Hemp flour provides a perfect substitute for plain flour and is ideal for banking, and thickening sauces when used in the right amount.

With a delicious nutty taste and dark color, it will add slight, but new flavor variations to your cooking arsenal. Not only is this flour tasty but your family will be feeling all the better for eating whatever it was you made for them. You can find it from suppliers like Hippie Butter and Hempika.
